Small but you can learn a lot!

Ironic to me’ the amount of fighting ‘ struggling for the right to acceptance’ to live ‘ to be’ the horror catastrophic tragedy’ the political social ignorance to that plague’ the indifference to the annihilation of body ‘ physical the loss of attachment to spirit! But I survived? 64 ‘ was told I’d be dead by 27’ seeking clinical help in a time when none was offered shamed for promiscuous life choices! “ Clinical after treatment City clinic information sexual advice’ “ You realize it’s your behaviors that brought you here’ you probably have the Gay Cancer you could be dead in six months! “ I’m nighteen I was gang raped! What behaviors? And now We are a museum ?

Really cool stuff here. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting the Castro District
